At my office we have 3 elevators. All 3 are horrible. They constantly break down. Open on half floors. Jump and drop 5 plus feet at a time. People frequently get stuck in them. One of them is particularly bad. It slams against the walls as it goes up and down and just today I was in it and it dropped about 10 feet to the point my feet started to come off the ground. The property manager says they work just fine and refuses to actually do anything about. Who can I call to have it inspected?

Update: I called 311 and asked and was referred to 424 5721. Not open until tuesday. I am going to call on tuesday.

It dropped a whole floor in a split second. I work with many handicapped people who use canes. If one of them was in there at the time it could have caused serious damage. I would imagine the property owner and elevator inspector would have a nice lawsuit against them.

It's a hyperbole. It was a life flash before your eyes moment, like really bad turbulence on a plane or when you are crossing the road and some asshole flies by you in a car so close you can feel the wind rush past you.

How did I know this was the Bay West Centre from just reading the title? Worse still is the fucking dead rat stench in the downstairs lobby and it's permeating all the way up into Admiral by now... I don't know how the hell Lori's going to be able to sit at her desk this week if they don't get that sorted out...

Upvote for you my good sir. The dead rat stench is due to a burst sewage pipe that leeched everywhere, absolutely disgusting. And the property managers lackie won't do anything about it, all he does is yell at people for smoking.

Fuck the 'property manager', if the landlord/property owner is a large company (as is almost always the case with office towers) send corporate HQ an email. That shit's a lawsuit waiting to happen and HQ won't be interested in dealing with that.

Bay West Centre. Eastern College, Admiral Insurance and CBC in a few months' time when they move into their new studios there. The shafts have been installed for new elevators but because the upward expansion of the building is still in limbo the installation of the new elevators has been delayed indefinitely.
